Underwater influences from the 'Nouveau Larousse Illustré'
Week 27's colours: Melon, Sea Blue, Paynes Grey & Sage
July is here with a brand new theme, Ocean with an emphasis on all kinds of things you can find underwater: from fish to sea anemones, crustaceans and more.
Our featured artist this week is Adolphe Philippe Millot (1857-1921) who was a French scientific illustrator, painter and lithographer known for his intricate detail and artistic skills. Born in Paris, he showed an early talent for art and natural history, which led him to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
